Leonardtown Boys Survive And Advance To Semis By Chris Stevens Staff Writer LEONARDTOWN – It took 80 minutes of regulation, 20 minutes of overtime, and nine penalty kicks to decide the outcome, but it was business as usual for the Leonardtown boys’ soccer team in the end. Nick Guy turned away the final Glen Burnie kick as Leonardtown won 2-1 by virtue of winning penalty kicks 5-4. “That was a great game, and Glen Burnie played exceptionally well,” Raiders coach Bruce Henderson said afterwards. “They extended the game longer than I would have liked.” That extension didn’t occur until late in regulation time, and neither team got on the board in the first half. That changed one minute into

the second half when senior forward Matt Snively raced down the left side of the field, hit Daniel Adler with a perfect crossing pass in front of the net, and Adler patiently scooted to his right and kicked a rocket into the back of the net for a 1-0 Leonardtown lead. That lead lasted for not quite 30 minutes when Glen Burnie’s David Grimes lifted a 40-yard shot over the head of Leonardtown goalie Nick Guy to tie the score at 1. That score held up through the final 9:35 of regulation and both 10-minute overtimes, but the Raiders, Southern Maryland Athletic Conference regular season champions and the top seed in the 4A East region, had several clear shots and opportunities at the net that either just missed or were See LHS Boys Soccer page B-

ST. MARY’S CITY - When the St. Mary’s College men’s basketball team says that they’re like a family, they’re serious. Throughout Monday evening’s practice, there were shouts of encouragement and laughter from jokes and friendly

jabs being lobbed at one another. The family that plays together also works hard together, and that is head coach Chris Harney’s theme for the upcoming season, one built on high expectations for a team that won 16 games last season, the school’s most in six seasons. “Last year was a textbook example of guys buying into what we’re

trying to do,” Harney explained. “One thing I’ve learned is you have to have work your butt off to have success.” Harney’s blue-collar approach and set offense didn’t sit well with several players who were either suspended or left the program. However, the core players that See SMC Basketball page B-

Braves Roll In Home Finale By Chris Stevens Staff Writer MORGANZA – Doug Rollins remembers how he felt in 2006 when he was responsible for giving up the touchdown that kept the Chopticon High School Football team from finishing the season 6-4. “Yeah, that was me getting Mossed on the last play,” the safety said with a laugh, referencing the helpless look NFL defensive backs have when covering New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss. However, Rollins did much of the Mossing Friday night with three interceptions, returning one for a touch-

down, as the Braves coasted to a 54-20 victory over Great Mills on a chilly night at Braves Stadium. The Braves (5-4 overall, 3-4 SMAC) jumped out to a 20-0 first quarter lead on touchdown runs by Marco Sawyer and Jimmy O’Grady, with a 40 yard interception return by Mike Labanowski sandwiched in between. Great Mills clawed back to within 13 on a drive that featured 40 yards in penalties against Chopticon and ended in a juggling four-yard touchdown reception by D.J. Johnson to make the score 20-7. That’s as close as the Hornets would get as Chopticon used a prolific rushing attack, punishing the HorSee Chopticon Defeats Great Mills page B-

Raiders needed, coasting to an 8-0 victory over the Lady Knights in a 4A East quarterfinal soccer match Tuesday night. “Sometimes it takes that first shot to get the ball rolling,” Leonardtown coach Jennifer Henderson explained. And she wasn’t kidding. After Williams’ goal with 27:35 to go in the first half, five different Lady Raiders registered goals, with senior midfielder Johanna Rambo leading the way with a hat trick. Serena Villa, Williams Emily Gehrig (Gehrig also collected two assists), Anne Marie Popgoshev (who was celebrating a birthday) and Alexandra Birurarkis also scored in the victory, which allowed sec-

nets’ defense to the tune of 334 yards on the ground. Four different running backs (Sawyer, O’Grady, Labanowski, and Daniel Buckler) compiled rushing touchdowns for the Braves. “We needed to get back to basics,” said Chopticon head coach Tony Lisanti of the concentration on the run game. “We were able to open up some nice holes and our guys were able to execute.” Quarterback Leo Kyte, who also contributed a 12yard scoring toss to Carlyle Tanner, was pleased that his job most of the night consisted of handing the ball off and watching his teammates go. “It definitely makes my job a lot easier when you have good running backs to go to,” he said. Much of the game was about Rollins, whose three picks (including the 35-yard touchdown return that sealed the deal late in the first half) from this game increased his regular season total to a grand total of seven to lead all Southern Maryland Athletic conference players in that category, and he also ranks second in the SMAC in tackles, evidenced by his non-stop assortment of hard hits all night long that drew oohs and ahhs

ond-seeded Leonardtown to advance to the 4A East semifinals Friday against an opponent to be determined. The Lady Raiders spread

their goals out evenly (four in each half), but Henderson wanted her girls to work on one thing once the lead got comfortable; intensity. “We

really were trying to pick it up in the second half, because in the playoffs, everyone plays with a sense of urgency,” she explained.

Seahawk Women Pick Up First Win of 2007-08 Season Two School Records Set St. Mary’s City, Md. – After dropping its season-opener to Marymount (Va.) University, the St. Mary’s College of Maryland women’s swimming team rebounded with a 109-96 victory over Randolph-Macon College Saturday afternoon, giving the Yellow Jackets (2-1) their first loss of the year. The Seahawks (1-1) claimed wins in eight of 11 events with freshmen Rachel Charnley (Sykesville, Md./Westminster) and Sofia Sokolove (Bethesda, Md./Bethesda-Chevy Chase) each capturing two individual first-place finishes. St. Mary’s foursome of junior captain Brie McDowell (Doylestown, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham), Sokolove, sophomore Rachel Hotchko (Yakima, Wash./A.C. Davis) and Charnley took first in the 400 medley relay with a school record time of 4:05.50. The new record displaced the mark of 4:05.88 set at the 2007 Capital Athletic Conference Championships on February 9 by McDowell, Stephanie Korba, Hotchko, and Eleanor Koerner. Another school record fell when Sokolove broke McDowell’s mark of 2:34.28 in the 200 breast which McDowell set on January 12, 2007. Sokolove swam a first-place time of 2:33.44 in the event to help establish two new St. Mary’s school records today. Junior Nat Schaefer (Newtown, Pa./Council Rock North) placed third in the 1000 free in 11:31.95, while senior captain

Caitlin Moore (Pittsburgh, Pa./Upper St. Clair) came in fourth with a time of 12:07.19. Charnley won the 200 free with a firstplace time of 2:00.60, while Hotchko was third in 2:07.37 and junior Megan McDonough (Jakarta, Indonesia/Jakarta International) took sixth in 2:34.68. McDowell claimed the 50 free with a winning time of 25.09, while junior Eleanor Koerner (North Potomac, Md./T.S. Wootton) came in third in 26:30 and freshman Arielle Webster (Jarrettsville, Md./North Harford) finished fifth in 27.13. Sokolove staked a first-place finish in the 200 IM in 2:20.35, while sophomore Laura VanBlargan (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) was fourth in 2:32.61 followed by freshman Rosa Trembour (Takoma Park, Md./Albert Einstein) in fifth (2:33.13). Hotchko finished first in the 200 fly with a time of 2:13.76 and freshman Erin Cammarata (Towson, Md./Notre Dame Prep) was fourth in the same event in 2:34.20. Koerner took first in the 100 free with a time of 57.12, while Webster was third in 59.19. Charnley won her second event of the day as she claimed the 200 back in 2:20.00, while McDonough finished fourth in 2:51.72. McDowell placed second in the 500 free with her time of 5:27.89, while Schaefer came in fourth (5:41.32) and Moore was fifth (5:59.38).

from those in attendance. Rollins says he can’t recall ever having a game like this, but he was able to cite the Leonardtown game earlier this year as being close “because of the way we played together as a team, and I had a 96-yard interception return for a touchdown in that game.” Lisanti credited his team’s resiliency for staying in control every time Great Mills seemed to get a little momentum going. “We got sloppy [in the first half],” he explained, “but we were able to buckle down and continue to execute.” Much like last season, Chopticon will go into its regular season finale looking to climb above the all-important .500 winning percentage plateau when they take on Northern High School this coming Friday night. So what will it take to avoid another 2006style let down? Lisanti, Rollins and Kyte all mentioned one word; practice. “We’re going to work hard this week in practice, get prepared and play the game,” Kyte said. Charles Taiwah carried 12 times for 80 yards and scored a touchdown for Great Mills (0-9 overall, 0-7 SMAC)

The penalty kick phase went back and forth until senior defender Michael McLoughlin scored the fifth goal for Leonardtown and Guy swatted away the Gophers’ last gasp, setting off a celebration of relief for the Raiders (12-2 during the regular season). Henderson let it be known that his team knew now that nothing could be taken for granted because “it’s the playoffs. Everybody’s fight-

ing to play again tomorrow.” “They just stayed with it, kept their focus, and they learned to lean on each other more tonight. You can’t duplicate this kind of experience in practice,” Henderson added. The victory allowed the Raiders to advance to the 4A East semi-finals Friday night against an opponent to be determined, immediately following the Leonardtown girls’ soccer 4A East semi-final match.

Lesesne averaged 18.5 points per game last year, and either led or tied for the lead in scoring in 16 of the team’s 27 games last season. “I’m real excited about this season, because the upperclassmen are in tip-top shape and the new guys are coming in and working hard as well,” Lesesne said. Joining him in leading the Seahawks this year are 6’7 center Alex Irmer (13.9 points and 6.3 rebounds per game in 06-07), point guard

Mike Smelkinson (11.8 points and 4.2 assists) and guard-forward T.J. Jordan. With a solid mix of veteran players and new recruits, Harney believes that his team has the horses to run with the rest of the Capital Athletic Conference and take the next step of winning the conference championship. “This will be the first time we have all the pieces in place” for a championship run, he explained. “That’s our goal; work hard, play every game tough and win the league.” He listed his talented core of Lesesne, Smelkinson, Irmer and Jordan, depth off the bench, and size as the pieces

The County Times in place. St. Mary’s has four players 6’6 or taller, led by Irmer in the paint. When asked about his coach’s lofty goals for this year, the transfer from Randolph-Macon (VA) College said, “I don’t really think it’s expectations. We all want the same thing, a championship.” Smelkinson agreed, saying that “We like that it’s on us. No one had to tell us to work hard, we came in working hard.” Last season started off slowly in Harney’s second season, after winning nine games in 2005-2006. Four of their first six games were against teams that would eventually appear in the NCAA Division III playoff tournament and SMC’s 1-5 record reflected that. However, they won 15 of their last 20

before losing to Hood College in the conference semi-finals. “We felt like we were playing our best basketball of the year,” Smelkinson said. Jordan adds that “we just want to pick up from where we left off last year.” In just his third year as head coach, Harney has put his stamp on the program with aggressive recruiting that has allowed him to get players that fall through the cracks at other programs. Irmer was a target of Harney’s for a very long time, and when he was unhappy at Randolph-Macon, he decided that St. Mary’s was where he wanted to be. Smelkinson, a 5’5 guard with water-bug speed, was cast aside from Division II California (PA) University because of the interim coach’s issue with small guards and found a home at SMC. Lesesne, a former reserve at Division I Delaware State, kept in touch with Harney through various summer basketball camps in the area that he worked at. Jordan came along with Harney from Bel Air High School, which was the coach’s previous stop. “I try to remember my time as a player and what I would’ve wanted in a coach,” Harney, a St. Mary’s alum says of his recruiting methods. “Kids know when you’re being honest and when you’re trying to sell them a used car.” Jordan has a simple reason

for why he chose to follow his high school coach to college. “You want somebody that’s

going to push you to work hard,” Jordan says. “He’s setting us up for success.”

St. Mary’s City, Md. – Fourth-year head coach Morris Davis was selected by his peers as the 2007 Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) Volleyball Coach-of-the-Year as announced by CAC officials Monday evening after leading the St. Mary’s College of Maryland volleyball squad to their first-ever appearance in the CAC Championship. Freshman outside hitter/middle blocker Claire Kodan (Olney, Md./Sherwood) was named to the All-CAC First Team, while junior Becca Tursell (Ellicott City, Md./Glenelg) and sophomore Katie Ewing (Gaithersburg, Md./Quince Orchard) both earned a spot on the second team. Davis became just the second St. Mary’s coach to be tabbed as the CAC Coach-of-theYear. Ann Guida garnered the honor in 1992 after leading the Seahawks to a 25-6 overall record. Davis also guided the Seahawks to the program’s highest win total ever with a 30-7 mark in 2007. The Hawks’ 6-2 conference log is the most league wins by any St. Mary’s squad. In her rookie campaign, Kodan finished the 2007 season second for the Seahawks in kills (313), kills per game (2.57) and hitting percentage (.314). She was third in points (371.5), points per game (3.05), and block solos (22). Kodan registered 13 double-digit kill matches, including a season-high 18 kills in a 3-1 win at Elizabethtown College on September 21. She played in 35 matches, missing the first rounds of the CAC Tournament with an illness. Kodan currently ranks fifth in the league in hitting percentage.

Date:

Ewing is making her second appearance on the second team after being named to the squad as a rookie in 2006. The 2006 CAC Rookie-of-the-Year, she led St. Mary’s in kills (343) and kills per game (2.64) while being second in points (412.5), points per game (3.17), and block assists (101). Ewing notched 17 double-figure kill matches, including a season-high 17 kills in a 3-1 victory over Villa Julie College on October 13. The outside hitter also recorded a double-double on a career-high 10.0 total blocks and 12 kills in a 3-2 win at University of Mary Washington on September 25. Ewing played in all 37 matches with 33 matches and ranks seventh in the CAC in hitting percentage (.279). Making her third consecutive appearance on the second team is Tursell. The 2005 CAC Rookie-of-the-Year, she currently ranks first in the conference in hitting percentage (.323) and blocks (205) while being listed third in the NCAA Division III rankings with 1.72 blocks per game. The middle blocker dominated the net for the Seahawks with 78 block solos and 127 block assists for 205 total blocks. She also led the team with 421.5 points and 3.54 points per game. Tursell tallied a career-high 14.0 total blocks in the 3-2 victory at Mary Washington (9/25) and had a double-double on 10.0 total blocks and 14 kills in a 3-2 loss to Franklin & Marshall College on September 22. She posted seven double-digit kill matches and six double-figure blocks matches. Story Courtesy of St. Mary’s College Sports Information Department

Local Librarian Appointed to Caldecott Award Selection Committee Kathleen Reif, Director of St. Mary’s County Library, is pleased to announce the appointment of Sue Gibbs, Children’s Librarian at Lexington Park Library, to the 2009 Caldecott Award Selection Committee. The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children. Only fourteen librarians across the country serve on this prestigious committee of which seven are elected and seven are selected by the American Library Association. Gibbs

was selected based on her expertise in children’s literature and experience in recommending children’s books. As a committee member, Gibbs will be responsible for reading the picture books published in 2008 and participating in the selection of the Caldecott winner who will be announced in January 2009. “As a child’s introduction to the world of stories, picture books are enjoyed by youngsters and fondly remembered by adults,” Gibbs states as she explains her passion for picture books. “I admire illustrators’ talent

for their ability to interpret and add to the overall appeal of good literature for young children.” Besides picture books being Gibbs’s passion, she has dreamed of being on the Caldecott committee ever since she heard a Maryland librarian describe her experience with a Caldecott committee at a library conference. “This is an honor not just for Sue but for our county and our state,” states Reif. “I can only think of a few from Maryland who have been selected for this very prestigious and important assignment.”

Nothing beats the sound of a kitten purring in your ear, a wet kiss on the cheek from a dog with puppy breath, or the feeling you get when you help a family adopt the perfect pet. If you’re interested in helping animals, the Tri-County Animal Shelter would like to talk to you. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old and fill out an application. A large part of our day is spent cleaning, and we could use the extra help. There are many cages, bowls and toys to be cleaned, and laundry is an all-day event. The work may not be glamorous, but it helps keep the animals happy and healthy. Experienced, committed volunteers can become dog walkers or cat scratchers, and help to socialize shy animals. Some people would like to help the animals, but just can’t bring themselves to come into an animal shelter. If this is you, you can still be a part of our team. We have many off-site events where we provide information to the public about our services and the

many wonderful animals that are available for adoption. For civic groups, scouts, or employees of a business who may wish to collect donated items for the animals, we have a standard wish list of needed items, as well as a few extras so the animals can have play time and treats. Please call us at 1-800-903-1992 to see what we need most at that particular time. If you want to help the animals of southern Maryland, and experience the best things in life for free, consider joining the Tri-County Animal Shelter team and becoming a volunteer. You’ll feel great, and the animals will thank you for it!

Add the mixture to the sausage, then mix in the croutons and parsley. Next add the chicken stock a little at a time until the

(The stuffing can be made to this point 2 days before Thanksgiving, refrigerated.) 6. Bake in a 14-inch oval or 9 by 13-inch rectangular casserole dish and place, uncovered, in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until the top is crispy and the center piping hot.

P lice Arrested for narcotics possession On October 27, 2007, Bureau of Criminal Investigations Vice Narcotics Detectives, being assisted by Bureau of Criminal Investigations Criminal Detectives, St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Services Team and Vice Narcotics Support Team members, executed a search and seizure warrant on an Avenue home. Upon arriving at the residence one suspect, Kerwin Deandre Ware, 32, of Avenue, attempted to flee on foot. He was apprehended and arrested on an outstand-

ing drug warrant. Further search led to the recovery of more than $1,800 in crack cocaine and nearly $700 in cash. Criminal detectives took custody of Ederick Maury Young, , , 40, of Avenue. Young was charged with first degree burglary and theft from a May 30, 2007 incident in Colton’s Point. During that incident, the suspect allegedly entered an occupied residence and stole money. Young was incarcerated in the St. Mary’s County Detention Center.

Jackson was incarcerated at the St. Mary’s County Detention Center and was held on a $10,000 bond.

Underwater Acrobats By Theresa Morr What are the friskiest, most fun-loving critters you can think of --- a critter that slides and dives, does somersaults and belly flops, and bunches more? It’s the river otter, of course! You can’t help but love these exuberant little guys with their small eyes and ears; reddish chins and stomachs; and flat looking heads, topped off with a pair of wacky whiskers. Mother Nature’s underwater acrobats are totally cute, irresistible, and the real deal when it comes to having fun. Otterly entertaining. You’ve probably scoped out these playful aquatic mammals at the zoo or on TV. But their natural habitats are along rivers, streams, lakes and coastal marshes, where they have a blast racing around under water, playing tag, hide-and-seek, and dunking or wrestling with one another. River otters love waterfalls, muddy hills, slopes, and snow banks, too, where they’ll launch themselves from the top, slide down on their bellies, front paws at their sides, and then go back for seconds and thirds. Just think of the fun you’d have if you could be an otter for a day! Otterly awesome. River otters zip around in the water at about six miles an hour thanks to sleek long bodies, short powerful legs, webbed hind feet that they use as paddles; and a thick tapered furry tail to steer by. These carefree creatures can do other neat stuff, too, like diving to depths of around 60 feet and staying submerged for almost five minutes. To keep from drowning, otters have special valve-like skin flaps that keep their ears and nostrils sealed tight. Otters are marine mammals but have no blubber like whales. Instead, they sport an undercoat of dense, brown oily fur, topped off by an outer coat of coarse guard hair making them “waterproof.” On land, river otters scoot along through a combination of running and sliding, up to an amazing 15 miles an hour. When not romping about, otters rest and sun themselves atop rocks and riverbanks. And these guys are pret-

ty clever builders, too. They construct their dens close to the water under thickets, tree roots, and rock piles, and with an underwater entrance to keep safe from other animals. Otterly laid back. Can you imagine eating dinner lying on your back? River otters do. They’ll just grasp a small fish in their forepaws and nibble away while lazily floating on their back. Frogs, snails, mussels, clams, crabs, shrimp, and insects are also on the menu. Otters communicate with one another through growling, whining, mumbling, squealing, puffing, snorting, hissing, chirping, chattering, and even chuckling. Baby otters, called pups, are toothless and blind at birth but open their eyes in about a month. When grown, they’ll weigh around 32 pounds and live 20 years or more. The main threats to these lovable creatures are pollution and habitat destruction by humans. Otter tidbits. Otters live the world over, except in Australia and Antarctica. Otters are related to weasels, badgers, skunks, and minks. There are 13 species of otters alive today, including the sea otters. To learn more cool stuff about otters, check out www.otternet.com. You’ll be “otterly” fascinated.

I am selling an Electra Pal antique trolling motor. It is a model 76. I cannot find out much about this motor, so I don’t know the year it was manufactured It is a 12 volt motor with an on/off toggle switch and variable 10 speeds. The unit works quietly and is in good shape for its age. The tiller handle looks to be a replacement. It could use a grip or something. I have no idea how much thrust this thing makes. Please call Erick @ 443-624-2883 for more information.
